At least our decay is private

“Holcim tu peux crever maintenant”

“As soon as you’re born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
‘Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be”

(John Lennon in Working class hero)

Does the unknown wait behind the question mark?

A large question mark sprayed on a door in an abandoned cement factory

“Darest thou now O Soul,
Walk out with me toward the Unknown Region,
Where neither ground is for the feet
nor any path to follow?”

(Walt Whitman in “Darest thou now O Soul”)

“Ecole Communale” closed; there were many graffiti spraying lessons

Graffiti on a wall and the bricked-up entrance of a school

“What did you learn in school today?
I learned that I’m no good.
Who told you that?
The teacher.
Don’t believe it!
Don’t believe it.
If I can’t believe the teacher,
why do I have to go to school?
Because if you don’t, I will be punished.”

(F. Rzewski in the song No Good)

I write your name

A faded place-name sign with the name written in graffiti

“I write your name
Everywhere I go
Like a worn out code
Just to let you know”

(Jim Carroll Band in I write your name)
